It came to me this morning as I went to get on the scales…Does it really matter where I begin, surely it’s the ‘end’ that’s important, in the past I have focused so much on the… what & where I start. It almost consumes me and then when I fail I feel lost. Sure I think wouldn’t it be great… Read more →

Ailments Galore Here
It started back in January with a damaged shoulder that put me out of action for a few days, ok didn’t exactly put me out of action but its did slow me down. I then had a cold that quickly developed into flu, which knocked me out for a week plus, and now to top it all off time of… Read more →
What Price Sanity
Snazzles has been off the pain killers since Friday morning and is absolutely fine. He’s standing squarely in front and raring to get out in the field. If it wasn’t for fact he has his front shoes off I would turn him out. But knowing from past experience his hoofs tend to break easily. I know that those who favour… Read more →

Nas Plays Scatter-The-Ponies
Day one of the diet went ok… I stuck to two meals, lunch was a chicken and mayo sarnie followed by a shortbread slice. Dinner was beef stew and dumplings followed by a toffee yoghurt (not the low fat kind). There was no snacking in between and despite being hungry no late evening munching. Today I have woken up hungry… Read more →

After losing my head and running back to house to get the spanners and ringing Steve to tell him I needed… Read more →
It’s S’now Good!
I’m finding it really hard to get motivated at the moment, it’s weird because just after Christmas I was so up for it and instantly seemed to settle back into my plan.

Sure I was moaning to myself first thing, I had arranged for someone to come over and play with… Read more →
